On April 15, 2013, police spotted two teens inside a stolen white Nissan parked in an alley.

As officers got closer to the car, which was backed in, police say Shaquille Sweat, 19, accelerated toward Officers Richard Bishop and Brandon Bill. Both officers fired into the car.

As the car moved toward a nearby alley, Officer George Graves also fired. Sweat, who was struck in the arm, abandoned the car and ran. His passenger, Tyeisha Long, 15, was shot in the shoulder.

Bill was hit by the car, but did not suffer a major injury.

Bill and Bishop were suspended, in part, for violating department rules about firing into moving vehicles. Graves was fired.

Police Chief Chuck Harmon indicated that he did not believe Graves was in danger. Graves was reinstated in 2014 after arbitration.
